The Marquis de Laguiche plot is 2 hectares at the eastern end of le Montrachet. Planted in 5 blocks to keep a harmonious age of vines across the total area - and one has been pulled up and re-planted, so there's a bit less than when all is in production. A deep colour, greener than the Corton Charlemagne. Both big and delicate. Structured, full of power and intensity, yet all controlled in rather majestic way - balanced, pure, very long - and clearly a complete baby. Drinking range: 2020 - 2030 L&S (Nov 2016)

An impressive mix of peach, citronella, honey, butter and baking spice flavors are matched to a creamy texture in this opulent white, backed by a lively structure, terrific harmony and a long, smooth aftertaste that echoes the fruit, honey and spice notes. Drinking range: 2018 - 2028 Rating: 95 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (Aug 2018)

Palish bright yellow. Knockout nose combines very ripe pear, exotic hints of orange oil and tangerine, and oak and menthol notes, with a crushed-stone element emerging with aeration. Tactile, thick and fairly dry; less showy in the early going than the Clos des Mouches, boasting a firm acid/mineral spine for the year. A note of mandarin zest gives the powerful, gripping finish a touch of positive bitterness. With its 14% alcohol, this large-scaled, energetic wine is a bit inscrutable today. Drinking range: 2021 - 2030 Rating: 93+ Stephen Tanzer, www.vinousmedia.com (Sept 2017)
Joseph Drouhin
Despite the size of their vineyard holding, not all Drouhin's wines come from their own domaine, but most of the other wines do come from long-term contracts, such as exists with the Marquis de Laguiche wines. In all but name these wines are 'Domaine' wines, and the vineyards are cared for and the wines vinified with exactly the same care.
